With Hasan In Gaza
de Kamal Aljafari
En Compétition 2025
Synopsis officiel
Trois cassettes MiniDV de 2001 sur la vie à Gaza viennent d’être redécouvertes. Ce qui avait commencé comme la recherche d’un ex-compagnon de cellule rencontré en 1989 aboutit à un périple inopiné sur les routes de Gaza avec Hasan, un guide local dont on ignore le sort. Une réflexion cinématographique sur la mémoire, le deuil et le temps qui passe, fixant un Gaza du passé ainsi que des vies qui pourraient avoir à jamais disparu.
